Goodbye DISH Network!
YAY - we did it and I feel like I can breathe again! When we moved to TX - we got cable internet in our apartment. Travis and I reasoned that it wasn't a bad idea - as we were five people staying in a 2 BR apartment - confined living quarters in the heat of our first summer in TX. The amount of television - albeit shows we deemed appropriate (few and far between - and even they sneak junk into the programs and catch you off guard!) - was sickening. We kind of planned to discontinue it when we moved - but when I called to get our phone and internet - I found that DISH network was nicely bundled together in a package. I didn't want the DISH - however, I did find out from a lady that lives in this area that it is the only way to get decent radio because DISH carries SIRIUS channels. I caved! However, upon installation, I found that the package that we enrolled for did not include the SIRIUS channels - (great customer service as I informed them that was the only reason I wanted it!). Long story short, we went away in November for 3 weeks - right after it was installed, and I never got around to getting the thing disconnected. It isn't the kids - guess who has been the total TV junkie - watching late night M*A*S*H marathons, CSI, etc. ME!!! Today I made the call and feel like a gigantic elephant has been lifted off of my shoulders. I am so happy. I feel almost giddy about it. It is gone effective immediately because my billing cycle ends TODAY. How great is God? He sends the conviction - and makes everything happen to help you be able to obey! Makes me think of a verse: No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out, so that you can stand up under it! I Corinthians 10:13 I love it when He does that! Oh how He loves to dazzle us with extraordinary rescues sometimes!
Love and blessings! ~ ? Julie ? ~

This is a place where I post what I am learning about home-making and homesteading. I may decide to merge my two blogs. The other one is Jewls2texas on Homeschoolblogger. Let's just see how this goes.
Currently this blog mirrors my blog on HSB1 - we'll see how it progresses and develops over time! Welcome! Hope you enjoy our visit!

My husband Travis and I have been together for 18 years. He is an electrician and the most creative, resourceful person that I have ever known. He is my BEST friend.

My 15 year old daughter Kendra is in 10th grade. She is currently very invested in fund raising for a mission trip she wants to take with Global Expeditions to France & Italy in the summer of 07.

My 8th grade daughter, Kaitlyn is 13 years old. She is homesick for West Virginia - but looking for exciting new adventures as a family here in TX.

Kullen is my 9 year old son. He keeps the family on our toes. He has a very loving heart, and always makes us laugh! He enjoys playing his guitar.
